It is a rainy day in southern Ohio which is one of the reasons it is so green and beautiful once spring and summer hit and I am practicing for an open mic at a popular Dayton pub tomorrow night. We only get a 30-minute timeslot so here are the songs I plan to play:Continue reading “So You’re Telling Me There’s a Chance…”

Hear Ye! Hear Ye!
The BBC is reporting on a deadly shooting in an Austin, Texas bar that left two dead and fourteen wounded. This act of EXTREME violence is being called a “possible act of terrorism.” I have questions (of course). What the hell ISN’T a “possible act of terrorism” anymore? What the hell are the BBC doingContinue reading “Hear Ye! Hear Ye!”
Don’t Blink
1973. An awesome year and the last time the United States government conscripted young men into our military war machine. A headline read Donald Jr. and Eric Trump “would be exempt from military draft for one key reason…” Could the reason be they are yellow-belly chickenshits like their father who dodged the draft five times?Continue reading “Don’t Blink”
Nothing is Possible
Not anymore. Not for everyone. Add Goldie Hawn, once one of the cutest faces in all of celebrityhood (did I just invent another word?) to the list of desperate old buzzards clinging fiercely to their last vestiges of youth with beauty-destroying cosmetic surgery. Artificial cheekbones. Plastic skin pulled tight. Duck lips. Sad. James Blair possessesContinue reading “Nothing is Possible”
Couldn’t Do it Without You
You mean to tell me with all his billions and all the billions more he and Elon Musk have stolen so far from the American people, he has to wear a store bought wig? Cold. When I saw the tag I had to double and triple-check just to make sure, and one thing I haveContinue reading “Couldn’t Do it Without You”
Baby, it’s Cold Outside
What do you do to escape the constant bitter cold in Norway? Many people embrace the cold; Alpine sports are big there. But not the politicians. Epstein Island. Yup. Not just America. My girl Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem fucking up again trying to shut down the TSA security checkpoints. You remember thoseContinue reading “Baby, it’s Cold Outside”
Ask the Wizard
It’s about an hour away from the president’s State of the Union address and I am awaiting it with the same anticipation I had when waiting for the next Jerry Lewis movie in the 50’s and 60’s—I couldn’t wait to see what that zany whackenheimer was going to say or do next… {NOTE: since IContinue reading “Ask the Wizard”
Play it Again
In the “New Normal” what do you do when your popularity poll numbers are embarrassingly, irreversibly low? You stop taking the poll, silly. If that doesn’t make you swell with national pride, what does? Just another “thanks, but no thanks.” Greenland has turned down an offer from the United States who offered medical care forContinue reading “Play it Again”
A Trampoline Can Be Dangerous
Bone spurs. His dad paid a doctor to falsely diagnose, treat, and document his “medical condition” so he wouldn’t have to serve in the armed forces. That must be why he’s so upset that he wasn’t awarded the Congressional Medal of Honor like all the other of our nations real military heroes, many of whomContinue reading “A Trampoline Can Be Dangerous”
Your Guess is as Good as Mine
Maybe even better. Kid Rock had one good song (Cowboy), and he thinks he’s a music icon now. The song that was released in 1998. Age does not make you iconic. If he thinks for one second that he can command ticket prices of $5,000 for his upcoming tour, well then this extra from theContinue reading “Your Guess is as Good as Mine”
